I have a set of Cast Iron dumbbells, that have a bit (not much) of rust on them, as well as some dust and grime. How should I go about cleaning and maintaining them? I received a bit of mixed information. One place says to take soap and water then dry them before rusting. The other says to take a nylon brush to brush the rust, then add oil overnight, them wipe the next day.
Also how about my power rack?

THere are a bunch of threads here about plate restoration. You should check those out, the process would be the same.

A couple blasts from the past,
Here are some threads on restoring weights and equipment,
Many involve painting the pieces to prevent further oxidation.
